Constantine Blu-ray
Warner Bros. | 2005 | 121 mins | Rated R | Oct 14, 2008
Constantine(2005)Action | Drama | Fantasy | Horror | Thriller     John Constantine has literally been to hell and back. When he teams up with skeptical policewoman Angela Dodson to solve the mysterious suicide of her twin sister, their investigation takes them through the world of demons and angels that exists just beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles. Caught in a catastrophic series of otherworldy events, the two become inextricably involved and seek to find their own peace at whatever cost. Based on the DC Comics/Vertigo Hellblazer graphic novels. For more details about Constantine on Blu-ray, see the Constantine Blu-ray Review Starring: Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Djimon Hounsou, Max Baker Director: Francis Lawrence Constantine Blu-ray, Video Quality  Presented in 1080p high definition and framed at 2.35:1, Constantine never stands out as a top-flight high definition reference-grade disc, but it never completely disappoints, either. The transfer is a somewhat dull and soft one. Early scenes are heavy on diluted colors with a strong golden or yellow tone. While the tone shifts throughout, the soft, the slightly undefined imagery remains consistent. Bight colors and strong primaries are not frequently found in the movie, and the transfer handles the somber tone of the film well. Facial detail is rather flat and minimal. Some background details are nicely rendered, however, an example being a scene in chapter six that takes place in a moldy, dirty, run-down apartment. The grime on the walls, electrical sockets, and cabinets all show up rather well. Likewise, the special effects stand out; various grisly scenes never falter in showcasing the painstaking graphic nature of the imagery, and the film's numerous creature or demon effects look sharp and detailed. Flesh tones are pasty throughout, some slightly rosier than others, but most are sometimes ghastly in appearance. Black levels are fairly strong. Constantine doesn't make for startling high definition imagery, but the transfer is acceptable and never insults the visual senses, either. Fans should be pleased with the results. Constantine Blu-ray, Audio Quality  Constantine's Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack is devilishly good. This soundtrack features hard-hitting effects, the first coming only moments into the film as a man is smashed by a speeding car. Minor effects, like the ambience of the arid Mexican desert, sound realistic with a nice spread of sound around the soundstage. Effects during the exorcism to open the film are loud and immersive, the shattering glass and excitement of the scene heightened by a solid sound design that translates well to the TrueHD experience. Discrete effects are fluid and immersive, covering the soundstage at every degree mark. From a series of ringing telephones heard distinctly in several speakers in chapter eight to various rainstorms heard during the movie, the soundtrack always offers something to please listeners, and the surround speakers rarely earn a minute off. It is the action sequences that shine in Constantine. Take a scene in chapter nine as Constantine fights a creature comprised of thousands of insects. Every speaker instantly comes alive and jumps at the opportunity to relish in the action, the result an immersive experience that places audience not just in the front row, but practically in the middle of the action itself. Bass is heartily employed by the film, particularly during the film's sequences taking place in "Hell." There are never any dialogue reproduction problems of note. Constantine's soundtrack isn't divine, but it ascends to the upper tiers of Blu-ray soundtracks nevertheless.
